First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a structured recovery program helps people who have heart surgery with a heart-lung machine recover faster. The program includes steps before, during, and after surgery to reduce pain, lower opioid use, and shorten hospital stays. About 92 adults having their first on-pump heart surgery will take part at one hospital in Canada.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Enhanced Recovery Program (a set of perioperative care steps)
What this could lead to
If it works, this program could help heart surgery patients recover faster, with less pain and fewer complications.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (92 people) at one hospital, so results may not apply widely. The program may not improve recovery as hoped.
